BB PubFin or MM Tech IBD?

I recently got an offer from a top BB (GS/MS/BofA) Public Finance group and also a top MM (HL/JEF/WB) tech group in Boston. Not sure what I want to pursue in the long term, but looking for a stable and decent life.

1. How hard is it to internally transfer from PubFin to other groups in BB?

2. Is Boston a good place to start a banking career?

3. Is it really difficult to exit the PubFin world if I don't enjoy my internship? Is an MBA possible for a career change?

Thanks!
